Volunteer & Events
Our volunteer season is winding down! We will be running events on an as-needed basis through mid-late December. Our newsletter is the most reliable way to determine if we are holding a volunteer event this week! All events listed here are up to date.

This walk will be led by Violet Reed and held at our Fresh Roots Farm on April 13th from 3-4:30pm. Plants covered in this course will include nutrition-packed wild edibles like chickweed, purple dead nettle, garlic mustard, dandelion, and more.

FAQs:
Q: Who can come?
A: Anyone! The garlic pulling is great for little ones and those who can't stand for too long can help peel garlic in the shade!
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: We will have to reschedule, garlic needs to be harvested on a dry day.
Q: Can I buy some garlic there?
A: We will send everyone home with at least one head! If you'd like more, we may ask you to make a contribution, depending on how many volunteers are there.
